russia sold the system to syria. now with syria falling into the chaos of civil war and desperate need for men, ammunition and equipment. for more than a year now, fox news has exposed the clandestine resupply of syria's military by iran using commercial airliners and unregistered cargo planes seen here offloading syria's military airports. now western intelligence sources confirm the planes are flying back to iran loaded with the sa 17's. current plans by israel and the townhouse attack iran's nuclear facilities count on using electronic counter measures to defeat iran's relatively outdated air defense system. if deployed around iran's facility the sa 17 would vastly increase their protection. now in addition to the missiles iran gets from syria, they have been highly successful at reverse engineering this kind of technology. so with just a few sa 17 systems that could build many many more, shep. it's clear this intelligence now changes the calculus of if, when, and how an attack on iran might happen. back to you. >
